Summary
,
In the
Learning English Program "NASA Finds Evidence of
UOA Carbon Dioxide
in Exoglanet Atmosphere" Bryan Lynn shared the information of Webb Space Telescope
discovered fire clear evidence of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere of an

exo-planet This . is
very important because carbon dioxide is useful for
scientists to
study the planet's formation history.
In 2011 , scientists from NASA and ESA discovered an exoplanet. The planet
was then named WASP-39-6 .
The exoplanet has a mass about the same as

Saturn's. It's not planet which orbits


very close to its star
a ,

stays
around 900 degrees Celsius.

In the past , with Hubble andSpitzer space telescopes , scientists

sodium and
have made observations
suggested there are water vapor ,

potassium in the planet's atmosphere. But using the new telescope-Webb , they
also found carbon dioxide in its atmosphere And in
.
coming years,
expected discoveries .
the telescope is to continue
making similar
